In reality, professors are going to catch plagiarism only if the student happens to copy from a source that the professor is very familiar with.
Not so. Say you've got a student with poor reading and writing skills. Said student suddenly turn in an erudite, well-written paper. You don't have to know jack about its sources to smell something funny.
My wife, who teaches at a state university, has to deal with plagiarists every semester, despite her policy to instantly kick offenders out of her class.
Um, why don't half the people posting here realize that Apple DID invent Firewire?
Apple owns the patent lock, stock, and smoking barrel because they developed it themselves. After thorough review, it was _adopted_ by IEEE as a standard, and anyone else using it is paying Apple for the license.
I see Apple bashed on these boards constantly, and I'll readily admit that sometimes the company deserves it. But for video editors both amatuer and pro, Firewire is the coolest thing to come down the pike in a long time. And the Emmy foundation gives tons of technical awards each year for tools that make work easier -- everything from tripods to camera lenses. I believe Avid and SGI have even captured a few.
So Apple deserves this Emmy, plain and simple. They've earned it.
...a space opera written by E.E. "Doc" Smith in the 1930s and 40s is the first known science fiction story to feature the use of "mass drivers," although I'm not sure if that's what he called them.
The above-linked Babylon 5 episode page references Smith..
And as portrayed in this jaw-dropper of an episode, mass drivers are awesome, terrifying, and a pretty darned efficient way to flatten a planet.

I too was disappointed with the EV sequel, but the first game thrilled me. Here's hoping the new one rocks my worlds.
